The Porch Days: 1998 to 2000 is a compilation album by American melodic hardcore band As Friends Rust. It was released only on vinyl by German record label Demons Run Amok Entertainment on May 22, 2015.[4][3][5] The release compiles a selection of As Friends Rust recordings that showcase the band's most recognizable line-up,[6][1] which spanned from March 1998 to October 2000. The band then consisted of lead vocalist Damien Moyal, drummer Timothy Kirkpatrick, bass guitarist and backing vocalist Kaleb Stewart, and revolving guitarists Gordon Tarpley, Joseph Simmons, Peter Bartsocas and James Glayat.[6][3]

The previously-released material contained within originally appeared on The Fists of Time and the split with Discount (both released 1998) and As Friends Rust (released in 1999). The compilation also includes two previously-unreleased songs, which the band had written during that area, offered as live recordings since they were never recorded in studio. In promotion of The Porch Days: 1998 to 2000, As Friends Rust played a series of shows in 2015 and again in 2019, which included performances at notable festivals like Groezrock in Meerhout, Belgium, Booze Cruise in Hamburg, Germany, and The Fest in Gainesville, Florida.[7][8][9][10]
